“We’re always looking for new customers, of course, and franchisees,” says Oxford, who is the Master Franchisor of Vancouver Island, Southern Alberta and Ottawa, and works out of the Jani-King Canada National Office in Coldbrook, Nova Scotia. “One of the keys to our success is our owner-operator concept, backed up by our double-check system with Regional Office support centres. This concept has led to a customer retention rate that sits at 0.9 percent in cancellations from customers.”
There are four Master Regions in B.C.: Vancouver Island, Vancouver-Fraser Valley, Southern British Columbia with offices in Kelowna and Kamloops, and Northern British Columbia based in Prince George.
Jani-King provides services for: Office and Building Cleaning, Car Dealership Cleaning, Healthcare Cleaning Services, Industrial Cleaning Services, Hotel and Resort Housekeeping, School and University Cleaning, Retail Cleaning, Post-Construction and Restaurant Cleaning.
Jani-King also offers customized cleaning packages for every client, and is a top-rated janitorial service.
Their website states: “We are a one-stop shop for all commercial cleaning needs, including daily and weekly cleaning program, carpet care, floor stripping and waxing, washroom supplies and more.”
They also offer Disinfection Cleaning Services using an electrostatic spray, mister, pump and manual disinfection processes that are Health Canada Certified and Broad Spectrum Virucidal to ensure the safety of the facility. Their deep cleaning and disinfection programs focus on cleaning high touch points.
Franchisees can also take advantage of a national supply program that provides competitive pricing for the franchisees and, ultimately, their customers.
Because he has several positions with Jani-King, Oxford gets to work in multiple markets throughout Canada, so he is very familiar with the company’s successes and operations across the country. What he experiences confirms his decision to join Jani-King 17 years ago.
“I was in retail with Wal-mart, and it was the only other job I’ve ever had,” he recalls. “I was about to go into their store management program, when my business life-coach asked if I’d be interested in trying something else for a year, which was Jani-King.
Jani-King offers commercial cleaning for all types of companies throughout B.C.
“My wife and I decided to relocate to the Ottawa Region and spent the next 14 years there with Jani-King, and added other Regions to our roster: Vancouver Island in 2020 and Southern Alberta in 2024,” he adds. “I moved to Nova Scotia in 2021 to the National Office, but I’m on the road eight days a month now. I’ve never looked back, as this has been the right life choice for me. It’s been fantastic.”
Oxford notes that Jani-King has a variety of franchise plans to support franchisees “so they can be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. We’re very mindful of that, and we have a very strong training program to ensure their success.”
Franchisees can start with an entry-level plan and work the operation full-time, but Oxford notes that there are also opportunities for part-time operators.
“We have many husband and wife teams that have full-time day jobs and are looking for something else to supplement their incomes,” he states. “That’s why we have other plans for those who may not want to be full-time owner-operators, but still want to be involved and have a strong revenue stream.”
Franchisees have access to full training and equipment packages, along with a guaranteed initial business plans to ensure sustainable growth.
